    A $3 to $3.50 Handy Dandy LED Flashlight/Task Light w/ A Rechargeable Battery.

    People like flashlights! Especially inexpensive ones.  In the past week I bought a dozen mini-flashlights from 3 different places. They all look alike on the web, but are they all the same? After I bought 3 of them for $10.50, Beckee W. in the chatroom found them for $3 each, actually four for $11.99. Then I found 6 for $17.99, also about $3 each. I decided to buy several of each to see if they are all the same flashlight. Strangely, they look similar, but they're all slightly different. One has a bigger LED task light, one doesn't have a strobe (which I never use anyway) some arrive in a sturdy plastic case. Watch my video to see the variations. For the lowest price you have to buy 3, 4, or 6 of them, but I think anyone of them would make a great stocking stuffer, or mini-gift. Especially the ones that ship in individual plastic containers. The ones priced at 4 for $13.97 on Amazon came packaged altogether in a plain cardboard box and didn't have the 'strobe' mode.

    All 3 versions of the mini-flashlight were still available as of noon EDT 9/13/20 but that can change at any time.

    CHEAPER HERE! 4/$11.99, but this is a new listing so I don't know if they come in a case or not. https://amzn.to/2GPP3QC As an Amazon Associate Giz Wiz Biz earns from qualifying Amazon purchases. You pay no more.

    Still on Deal of the Day 3 for $10.50 w/free shipping as of noon 9/12/20 EDT  https://www.thatdailydeal.com/index.php?id=54488  ($3.50 each, but bigger task light side panel, better charging light indicator & the only one with a carry strap instead of a pocket clip. This would be my choice if they're still available. This is not an affiliate link.)
